Abstract
Abstract-The State Capital is the center of gravity of a nation where its domicile is the center of government of a country, as well as the place where administrative elements, namely the executive, legislative, and judiciary are gathered. The conduciveness and stability of the National Capital need to be a concern because various vital state objects are contained in it. Indonesia, with its five pillars of the World Maritime Axis (PMD), is still struggling with issues of maritime threats that often arise in the form of encroachment on territorial boundaries, theft of marine products, and other illegal activities. As an archipelagic country with a wide border gate in the form of the sea, the violations that occur are often difficult to control. Indonesia has enormous marine potential that requires the attention of the state in order to create protection from threats to sovereignty in the maritime territory of the archipelago. Moreover, the National Capital of the Archipelago is adjacent to the Makassar Strait, which is an international shipping lane, namely the Indonesian Archipelago Sea Route (ALKI) II. ALKI II passes through the Sulawesi Sea, Makassar Strait, Flores Sea, and Lombok Strait connecting the Pacific Ocean and the Indian Ocean. The development of the maritime defense of the National Capital City is urgent that really need to be the attention of all stakeholders in the defense of the State of Indonesia.Keywords: Maritime Security, Nusantara's Capital City, Threat, Makassar Strait, Global Maritime Fulcrum
